Think Before You Click: Internet Safety Tips for Parents | Edutopia
I wish more parents would read articles like this. I try and I am only one person to teach my students about Internet safety, but it can't end there. Parents have to do their part at home. Using filters on home computers can be helpful, but it should not let parents off the hook from teaching their children to be safe on the Internet. I have always taught my 4th graders, that when ever they see something on the Internet that makes them uncomfortable, tell a trusted adult. Don't just walk away and ignore it because then the situation can't be fixed.
What a great article!! It is definitely important for parents to be aware of what their children are doing on the Internet. Teachers can only do so much while the kids are in school, and parents need to contribute to their children's online safety, as well.
